Will The McGregor-Mayweather Fight Be A Joke?

The fight is labeled as the first epic clash between a boxing star and an MMA fighter ... but will it be?

The most anticipated fight in years is finally happening. Floyd Mayweather is taking on Conor McGregor in Las Vegas on August 26.

The fight will be broadcast on Showtime PPV and fought at 154 pounds.

The fact that an MMA star is actually getting in the ring with the greatest boxer of the decade is mind-numbing to many. Add to the fact that Mayweather is 40-years-old and been semi-retired for two years, and McGregor has never fought within the rules of a professional boxing match, and there’s not even a title up for grabs, many feel this fight is a money-grab and nothing else; many feel it’s a joke.

Even if the media thinks McGregor will get his brains bashed in, dammit, I can’t help it. I’ll be watching this fight. And so will you. And so will your mother.

Go ahead and block off August 26-27 on your calendar now.

If Mayweather wins this fight, he could finish his career at a perfect 50-0. He also earned a record $250 million for his fight against Manny Pacquiao two years ago. Many think he’ll earn roughly the same amount for this McGregor fight.
